The Saudi Arabian General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) extended the shutdown of Riyadh’s King Harid International Airport until 9 p.m. on 17 October.
A Houthi spokesperson said on 11 October that the group had attacked Dammam’s King Fahd International Airport and also claimed responsibility for attacks on King Harid, warning that using Saudi airports is dangerous except for those in Mecca and Medina; the Japanese Embassy in Saudi Arabia advised people to avoid Saudi airports unless absolutely necessary and to check the latest situation before traveling.
